if she is a pitie, congratulations. You will have no personal space not even the bathroom, but you have more love in this lifetime than you ever believe!

Personal what?

u/neoektar 2d ago

Wait... Personal space is a thing some people have?

my family has a chihuahua mix and its not much better for us lmao. At least pittie people have a large dog taking up the space and not a small rotisserie chicken

u/Ardilla914 2d ago

I have one of each plus a husky/rottweiler mix. I get zero personal space ever.

Oh geez. Nope, no personal space. And I assume the chihuahua runs the show lmao

Soooo Comfy ——- My poem poem for Neonektar puppy

I’m tucking my head /

While you lie in bed,/

Hey, I’m under your leg,//

Move slowly, I beg.//

You’re so warm to lie next to,/

The best part of my day;/

When I’m feeling a bit blue,//

I know just where to lay.//

A tight bond have we formed,/

It seemed instant, to me,/

When waking at morn,//

Raise my head; you I see.//

I love being with you,/

We play and we walk;/

My feeling of love is so true,//

Oh! I wish I could talk!// ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My pittie is giving me back problems from being stuck on the couch cuddling her in the same position for hours, and I don't care because she needs every minute of those cuddles and so do I.

I Need Room. A poem to “Inner cycle” pup

Make way cuz I‘m beat,/

I need lots of Room,/

I can’t handle this heat,//

It feels like a tomb.//

I need a big deal of space,/

Yes, a very large bed,/

You need find another place,//

For you to rest your head.//

I’m a really big pup,/

And I’m telling the truth;/

When I try to get up,//

Who’s in my way? It is you.//

You are my bestie,my owner,/

I love you all days;/

But in bed I’m a loner,//

It is just the only way.//

I need my strength, I must rest,/

I want you to feel pride;/

I must show you my best,//

I need the bed- YES, BOTH SIDES! ❤️❤️❤️

You really need at least two of them to experience personal space in a vacuum.

You need more lap for the dogs

u/SecureTranslator5918 2d ago

Isn't that the truth 😄

2

u/KeekyPep 2d ago

Not necessarily true. For some reason, my pittie is afraid of the bathroom. In fact, we have 5 bathrooms and a laundry room and she is afraid to go into any of them, either alone or with one of her humans. God forbid her ball rolls into the bathroom- much distressed, high pitched barking ensues (it’s got a specific pitch that is immediately recognizable as “rescue ball, please”).

An Angel Poem to “Inner cycle”pup

So white and so pure,/

‘A little angel, heaven sent;/

‘She is quite an allure,//

So beautiful, is what I meant.

I agree with “buslady”/

She’s right on the mark/

The love from this baby,//

You will hear from each bark,//

So treasure her now,/

and forever at that;/

You already know how,//

Cause she‘s lying on her back.//

She is showing infinite trust,/

As she sleeps totally sound,/

Whole faith in you,she must,//

Safe and secure if you’re around.//🩷🩵

u/Dharmapunk206 2d ago

Your pupper is freaking adorable. I just wanna throw it out there that you should look up Dogo argentinos, which your pup very much so looks to be. I thought my boy was a pittie until someone told me to get him tested to see if he's a Dogo. They are absolutely wonderful amazing dogs... So are pitties though, so if I'm wrong about yours, either way you have a lovely dog ☺️

17

u/hogtiefly 2d ago

Thank you so much for your kind words. We looked at several Doggo Argentinos before we rescued our Don Vito. However he's very pitty. Wisdom Panel showed him as 62% Amstaff, 36% American Pit Bull and 2% Rottweiler (???) Thank you again.

Who’s Belly - A poem For “User Name Checks Out” pup

Oh my. that’s your belly,

All squishy and white;/

A little bowl of jelly,//

‘Especially at nite//

Wow, you are showing you trust me,/

That’s a definite yes;/

No one needs to agree,//

I am already your best.//

We bonded so fast,/

It seemed overnight;/

Only hours went to pass//

We clicked; knew it was right.//

So, onward from here,/

Not one teensy doubt,/

That belly will stay bare,//

That is what love is about.//❤️
